It is the time in India where the Government of India is making efforts to ne-tune and revamp Distance Education in the country. This quality check is done to ensure that updated and effective teaching and services are provided to every recipient as is the case of the students who have opted for the regular mode of studies. At this stage of increasing prominence, Pondicherry University expresses its enthusiasm to join the mission of making education accessible to every corner of the nation.
At the Directorate of Distance Education of Pondicherry University, we offer several Under Graduate, Post-Graduate and MBA programs which are well coordinated with all the twinning centres of the country. Since its inception in 1995, the Directorate of Distance Education has been upholding its legacy with over 2,50,000 students serving the society in their areas of expertise. Our association with a mix of students from different sections of the society has been worth cherishing and they include professionals who wanted to add value to their credentials, students who could not pursue higher education for variety of reasons including nancial constraints and people who aspired to continue learning later in life. The increasing demand for each of these courses over the years validates this prestigious mission that our University is trying to complete in.
Aspiration to continue learning is a key determinant of an individual's positive outlook towards life. Here we are building the right platform for learning and growth for all our stakeholders. I would like to congratulate every aspiring student of DDE, Pondicherry University on their decision to purse higher education and wish them all great success in their path to excellence.
PROF. GURMEET SINGH Vice-Chancellor, Pondicherry University Message from the Director, DDE The robust nature of education makes it the most promising tool across all sectors of India that every step should be taken to resonate its spirit to the promising manpower of the nation. The benets of uplifting education as a fundamental right have been manifested in the form of the country's progression. Evidently, the growth in enrolment rates in higher education is impressive, but is not as great as that is in other developing countries. This is the right juncture where the concept of education on distance mode nds its relevance. Appreciably, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India had provided equivalence of certicate for the courses offered by Open and Distance Learning Institutions to that of the courses offered by universities on regular mode. Working within the same orbit of formal education, students of distance education could now also envisage higher career prospects and opportunities as any student on regular mode of education.
Impartation of higher education opens a vista of far-reaching potency to large number of youth and knowledge aspirants in the country who are unable to access education after a certain point of time. Non-availability of suitable opportunities, affordability concerns, high standards of admission and poor academic history, demand on time, inaccessibility, and other situational factors might be a few of the curtailing reasons. Noticeably, the number of people who aspire for higher education and looks at education as a lifelong process, are numerous and Distance Education mode is exactly for those multitudes. The Directorate of Distance Education at Pondicherry University aims to reach out to the whole of our nation by emanating knowledge through academic programs of quality and relevance that are skill-based, professional and job-driven. Our in-house teaching and learning assistance, advanced e-learning facilities and Personal Contact Programs (PCPs) are much appreciated in the sphere of distance education. Along with providing classes at all our twinning centres, we also ensure cover-to-content quality of the study materials, thereby, marking our distinctive presence in higher education facilitation. We honour our societal obligation as much as how we are watchful of our quality maintenance, by providing fee concessions for those who deserve support. Beneting from the advent of Information and Communication Technology in education, we believe in widening our circumference and providing equal opportunity for all, to learn and grow in directions they dream of. In coherence with the nation's growth, we work towards creating an educated and progressive society of eminence, principles and codes. I congratulate all the students who have wisely grabbed this opportunity to chase their dreams and extend them a hearty welcome to the world of knowledge and wisdom.
